Healthy Blood Pressure

Here are a few ways to have a healthy blood pressure.
1. Exercise. Exercise for 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times per week.
Believe me, this is an area where I am really lacking. I am trying to get with the program but I really have to force myself. I know that some say they LOVE to exercise. I unfortunately am not one of those people.
2. Low sodium diet. The Cleveland Clinic recommends under 2,000 mg of sodium per day.
3. Drink plenty of water, 6 to 8 glasses per day, with each glass being approximately 8 ounces.
4. And as with everything else—have a balanced diet. Again–this is easier said than done for me.

Do you have any tips or suggestions to share? I’d love to read your ideas.
